It has been obvious they can’t write a decent story for our faction even if their life would depend of it all the effort goes to red faction except the city/building design.
This is a momentous and great day. Thank you Blizzard.

It worked, yay!
As a side effect I’m now a rogue.
That’s not the sad thing. The sad thing is all the Alliance players sitting on their high horse sympathizing with horde players thinking it makes them look nice. It’s a two-faction game, of course people will start to feel the wondrous effects of tribalism.
Horde will never ever have their dead leaders back nor will they get their representation whenever neutral content is involved and will have to help Jaina and Tyrande in Shadowlands. Just remind them of that when they get uppity. Also, 30% warmode bonus and instant bg queues. They are not your friends just because you play the same game.

Dark Iron Dwarves, I had friends on horde who switched to Alliance to play these, one guy even had his mog all set before he even unlocked the AR, it was something he had wanted to play for a long time. I am sure there was an influx of people who came to Alliance just to play Dark Iron Dwarves and yet we hear nothing about them now, was there another Cataclysm and the race was wiped out?
In every thread people name the races that Horde were given versus what Alliance were given, mainly to show some imagined bias, but strangely people never mention Dark Iron Dwarves in these threads, why is that? Is it because it was something Alliance had wanted and were given?
No it seems it is much easier to go with ‘omg we got Mechagnomes and we didn’t want them’, despite other threads showing that people do play this race and enjoy them. Now I personally have never played a Tauren, just because it’s isn’t a race that appeals to me, yet I do play Orc and Zandalari and not just the pretty blood elf.
What it all comes down to is that Alliance wanted Helves and didn’t get them – put all the pretty bows on it you like to try and disguise this fact, but it’s there in every thread.
I know this is an odd concept so bear with me, but maybe, just maybe people play the races that appeal to them and don’t put it all down to bias?

I havent gotten unhunched UD yet. Besides, you can keep vulperas, we dont like them furries, feel free to make fur cloaks out of their hides and burn them alive. LF Draenei - we didnt ask for Highmountain either. Sethrak in alliance? Are you borderline insane? They have literally 0 ties to the faction, for N’Zoth almighty, are you delusional? Fat humans? Yeah, and that sucks. You know, as of now i’d cancel my sub if i were you. Massive sub cancel from blues.

I don’t care about the eye color, but giving blood elves black skin? This is such a blatant move to appease the SJW idiots. Pathetic.

What I don’t like about the high elf fans is the pure hate they used to throw at void elves and lashing out on people who enjoy void elves ever since the allied race became a thing. They deserve that, to be honest. I’ll gladly use the blue eyes on my blood elf mage.

I should be very interested to see how a sethrak would sit on some of my mounts
Haven’t their eye colors changed due the sunwell too?
And I do not advocate in bashing the undercover faction. If these players will stop playing, then we will all suffer the consequences in the future.
The velves suit the Alliance but there is no denying that the race has been shoe-horned in and do not match up to the Argus-Alleria setup people expected them to be.
Only part that I’m a bit salty about, mainly because the Draenei fanboy in me preferred Broken Draenei over these Draenei with shiny tatoos.
Though both factions did get a bit of disappointment when it comes to allied races in the end, also considering the fact that the Alliance never got an allied race that uses the Worgen’s rigs, nor did the Horde get an allied race that uses the Forsaken’s rigs.
I wanted them. But not as a race but as an extra customization for the Draenei. What they did with most of the ARs was just stupid imo. Most should just have been customization for the existing races.

But the damage is done by now. Even right now people are discussing on the AD Alliance Trade Chat how awful the Alliance has it.
No matter where I am today, even in the TW chat people are discussing on both sides that Alliance-player deserve better at this point.
I mean yeah, you got shafted with lame and boring races. But nothing can be done about that anymore. I seriously doubt that we will ever get any new ARs again.
Well they could have added the WHITE HAIR simultaneously, you know, to resemble the one race from DnD we all know and love, but no.
What bothers me more is added asians and africans. Like Azeroth humans are not evolved the “natural” way, so why are they added? To appeal to 1,5 players who actually hate not being represented? Jeez, the skin tones of said races from real world are already there.

I mean they could work around it all simply by taking away some of the faction importance. After all our characters are supposed to be adventurers. So your character creation could just become a basic template for all the High elf derivatives( including BE) and once you made your character you can go out in the world and choose if you are going to side with the horde or not.
Ion talked about more RPG level choices yesterday, i’m pretty sure this is one they can do something with. And it would completely allow players to play the Alliance high elf they always wanted while letting BE stay with the horde as per the story.
And this is why people always bring the Horde-bias up as well. Don’t get me wrong, we have evidence in form of pictures and videos that highly suggest true bias here to some degree but in the end they still do care enough to give the Alliance good playable zones.
While I do disagree to some extend that the Alliance got shafted, it is always disheartening to see that they don’t offer something valuable to them. Alliance gets horses, their reaction is to make it up with a bee mount and a wolf from the two tales-achievement. On top of that, they offer absolute no race variety which could be easily prevented a long time ago.
They didn’t do themselves a favor in having a Helf leading the Velves. This was the biggest mistake for that race.
Delusional demand based on one short storyline despite the fact that Horde helps them far more.
Reasonable demand based on the fact that Horde saves the Vulpera. Also, Vulpera were clearly going to be Allied race from the start.
Based on what? All the times Alliance worked with Vrykul?
You mean race that was announced to be Allied race in BfA trailer?
Who even asked for Highmountain?
Undead are still hunched and un-hunched orcs were one of the most requested customization options in history of WoW.
Such as?

Ion said long ago Blood Evles are High Elves.
Also in BlizzCon 2019 devs have confirmed that Belves are most likely to get blue eyes.
Don’t understand why are you flaming now lol.

Alliance asks for Blood Elves (which are in the Horde) with blue eyes.
They don’t get them.
Horde bias.
